Here is a list of prep schools that have reported number of leavers moving to St Paul’s at 13+ in 2017 (academic year 2016 – 2017). Keep in mind that there are about 176 places at the senior school, although half of those are filled by boys moving up from the junior school. So assume about 85-90 places are available at 13+. Obviously, larger prep schools will send larger numbers of boys, so keep in mind class sizes at the prep schools before jumping to conclusions.

- The Hall School, Hampstead: 18 (out of 60)
- Durston House, Ealing: 9 (out of 43)
